ABSTRACT
The enzymatic oxygenation of linoleic acid leads to the production of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE). Subsequent dehydrogenation of 13-HODE by the NAD(+)-dependent 13-HODE dehydrogenase results in the formation of the 2,4-dienone 13-oxooctadecadienoic acid (13-OXO). These oxidized derivatives of linoleic acid have been shown to be involved in several cellular regulatory processes. In the present study, we have examined the enzymatic and nonenzymatic reaction of 13-OXO with glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (N-AcCySH). Nonenzymatic reaction rates were determined spectrophotometrically and exhibited a pH optimum of 9.0 which is consistent with attack of a thiolate anion. Product formation was evaluated by reverse-phase HPLC which showed formation of one major product upon reaction with either GSH or N-AcCySH. The HPLC-purified products were examined by FAB MS as well as one- and two-dimensional NMR. The products, with either GSH or N-AcCySH, were found to consist of an equal mixture of two diastereomers arising from addition of a thiolate to the 9 position of 13-OXO. Using GSH as the thiol, the reaction was also shown to be catalyzed by rat glutathione transferase 8-8. In the case of the enzymatic reaction there is stereoselective product formation. Furthermore, submicromolar concentrations of the 13-OXO-GSH conjugate were shown to significantly inhibit glutathione transferase activity in HT-29 homogenates. These investigations provide insight into the potential metabolic disposition of linoleate oxygenation products.
